Agnès was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Limoges Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Limoges Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Agnès struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Agnès won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $450 • Post-operative medication: $175 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $325 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
